Ya might want to check out those EULA things when you buy the system. It counts as a legal contract between you and Sony; and the vast majority of such things say they can do whatever in the updates that they want (just in legaleese). At least with Sony, last I checked, you still own the hardware, just not the software side of the OS. If you buy something from, say, Apple; you technically don't even own the hardware. According to their EULA you're just renting the whole thing from them with a one time rental payment.

As for the PS2 backwards compatibility: It was a two-front decision. One was the "hey we can rerelease stuff if we get rid of it". The other was that the PS2 emulator board was causing heat control issues if used for an extended period of time; so they took that whole board out after about the 2nd or so production run of the original bigger-than-xbox-sized consoles (kinda similar to 360's redring issues).

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:59:15 +0000http://www.digitaltrends.com/?p=275903#comment-165895Yea but it's in Hd, if you want to play your old games go buy a ps2, furthermore sony needed to cutback on ps3 features in order to stay competitive (the systems re like half the price now). I agree with you though that sony should still have some type oof ps3 model out there with this compatibility at maybe a higher price like 30 bucks more or something.

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:08:02 +0000http://www.digitaltrends.com/?p=275903#comment-164973I officially hate Sony now with regards to their PS3 policies. I actually have one, and played it almost exclusively, rarely touching my Xbox 360 or my Wii, but thanks to their boneheaded decisions, I've stopped using it completely.
First, they took away Backwards Compaitibility. Two reasons I can now see. First, is they cited that it would be more expensive on their end to manufacture consoles with BC. Second, clearly now, they plan to re-release all the old PS2 classics, albeit with a HD facelift.
Second, was when they dropped Linux. Say what you will about Sony not having to provide free updates, they legally cannot take away a feature of a product you own, post-sale. I wanted to learn how to use Linux, and my PS3 was a great option.
Plus, the forcing of updates if I want to use new content. Luckily, I have Internet access. However, what about if I didn't? And I went ahead and bought a new release game to play on my fat, 80GB PS3? Lo, and behold, it wouldn't work!
With Sony being so anti-consumer, I wouldn't be surprised if a future firmware update removes the ability to play PS1 discs, so they can force you to buy the same game again through the Playstation Network. Oh, sh*t, maybe I shouldn't have given them that idea!
